Care begins with a health assessment and may include nutrition guidance, progress monitoring, and prescription medication when clinically appropriate.

Medically Supervised Weight Loss
Fad diets rarely deliver lasting results. At MedHaven Health, our medical weight loss program starts with a comprehensive health assessment including lab work, metabolic evaluation, and a review of underlying conditions that may contribute to weight gain — such as thyroid disorders, insulin resistance, or hormonal imbalances. Our providers then create a customized plan tailored to your body, lifestyle, and goals.
Our Weight Loss Approach
Our evidence-based program may include FDA-approved weight loss medications (including GLP-1 receptor agonists like semaglutide and tirzepatide), nutritional counseling and meal planning, exercise recommendations appropriate for your fitness level, behavioral strategies for long-term success, regular follow-up visits to track progress and adjust your plan, and management of weight-related conditions like diabetes and hypertension.
GLP-1 Medications for Weight Loss
GLP-1 receptor agonists are changing the landscape of medical weight loss. These FDA-approved medications work by mimicking a natural hormone that regulates appetite and blood sugar. When combined with lifestyle modifications, GLP-1 medications can help patients achieve significant, sustained weight loss. Our providers evaluate each patient individually to determine if GLP-1 therapy is appropriate.
Why Medical Weight Loss?
According to the NIH, obesity is associated with increased risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease, certain cancers, and other chronic conditions. Medical weight loss under professional supervision ensures safe, effective results with proper monitoring. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, commercial insurance, and self-pay.
